The City of Chicago has long been associated with parties and excess. Even Frank Sinatra referred to the city’s history of saloons, and those who fought against those saloons, when he sang, “Bet your bottom dollar you’ll lose the blues in Chicago … the town that Billy Sunday could not shut down.” While it might be understandable that addictions could spring up in a city with this sort of history, living with an addiction doesn’t have to be inevitable.
In fact, there are many highly respected and accessible programs that can help you to overcome your addictions. Many are located right in the heart of Chicago, while others are easily accessible via train or airplane.
Benefits of Being Admitted Into a Rehab
It’s likely that you’ve heard about what a rehabilitation program can do for you. Your family members, friends or doctor may have told you that a rehabilitation program can help you stop abusing substances and learn how to pull together a healthy lifestyle that doesn’t include substance abuse. But, if you don’t believe that a program could really help you, perhaps this study could help to change your mind.
This study, published in the journal Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research looked at recovery rates for people who had both addictions and mental illnesses. These people, obviously, had severe difficulties, and they achieved remarkable success in rehab. One year later, they were using fewer drugs and drinking less alcohol, and they were functioning better socially. As this study indicates, almost everyone can benefit from rehab programs, and those benefits are very real and felt in almost all aspects of life.
Narrowing Your Choices
In order to find the right program, it pays to take time to think about what aspect of care will be most important to you. Are you most concerned with:
- Cost?
- Proximity to home?
- Amenities offered?
- Education of therapists?
- Privacy and security?
By thinking about what will make you most comfortable, you’ll make it easier to choose the right addiction treatment program in Chicago.
